Being a 2.0 late car and having a tendency to run on the hot side and living in a hot climate, I think I should consider a cylinder head temp gauge. I have not seen one installed and would like to know how to proceed.
Now since putting the backdated HE on and the aux oil cooler oil temps have never been over 225/230 at the hardest running in the mountains on sustained up hill climbs. And I will finally have everything cleaned off properly and the tins all removed from the motor , under side cleaned up and have new warm air guides that were not on the car before, which should help as well. Either way seems like a good time to do this. advice on installation, wiring etc Thanks, Phil |

so i found a site that says VDO discontinued making this gauge, and another side that tested them and found at 400 actual they were off 60degrees, - so there is one on ebay but with them being off maybe i need to look at another manufacture like dakota digital or another - who has what? how did you run the wire? i will follow same path i took for the A/F gauge i suppose- i did find a few pictures -
